35- Crassus and Pompey

After Sulla's death two men emerged as the vanguard of Rome's new political generation: Marcus Crassus who would become Rome's richest man and Pompey the Great, who would become Rome's greatest general. In a few years these two men would join forces with Julius Caesar to form the first Triumvirate.

Thanks for coming back! My afternoon walks weren't the same without the History of Rome.

[Mark]

Once again another great podcast. It was freezing rain this morning here in Ottawa and having your podcast to listen to on the way to the bus made it actually enjoyable.

[John]

Hope whatever kept you is behind you. So good to hear you lectures again. Thanks a lot.

[Johnny]

First of all, I'm digging the new site.
Second of all, another great podcast :] I love it when itunes starts downloading another.

[Wes]

I'm so relieved that you're back! I had thought you had podfaded, but I was never going to unsubscribe. I'm just so very happy to have it continue. <3

[David]

Glad to have you back and to finally be able to listen to the early episodes. Thanks for all your podcasts. Also, looking forward to the new site by the soon-to-be-Mrs. History of Rome (congratulations by the way).

Well, I am just so happy that we can continue with the 'second-half' of The History of Rome.

I am really looking forward to the Crassus vs. Sparticus Episode!

And, yes! I donated!

Worth every penny for what I receive in return. :)

Thank you so much, Professor Duncan!

Post an address, and I'll contribute a check. LOVE the podcast, but found Paypal dishonest and won't deal with them.

[Jim in Portland OR]

Wanted to include my thanks as well for coming back to your podcast project. Your history of Rome episodes have been a very nice addition to my ancient history hobby.

Noticed a post regarding historical time lines so I'm including a link to some time line posters from Parthenon Graphics that people might enjoy.

Having the History of Rome back is great news. I can't wait to hear the Spartus episode.

[Greg Galant]

Great to have you back! Last two episodes were great as always.

I just donated enough money for you to buy your own domain name for a couple years so that you don't have to change the URLs every time to change the blogging platform. I hope you spend it wisely!

@Michael in Houston: Oh my holy goodness! That looks mostly right, though I can see you have some 2's where there should be 1's down around Tiberius Gracchus. I have a plan to produce a THoR specific timeline, but until then please see Jim in Portland's helpful links.

@Greg: Yes, thank you thehistoryofrome.com is on the way. One last switch for everyone, and then we'll be nice and settled.

[JPotter]

Strange, the timeline shows Marius as Censor in 102 BC, I didn't know that.
